Looks absolutely gorgeous. Played a quick game on 'Lazy' mode and it definitely took a minute to get started. Didn't realize at first that I could pick up packages anywhere along the conveyor as long as I could reach them. Controls took a moment to get used to, felt too fast at first, but they serve the gameplay well.
Art caught me right away. Came from the little gif in the blog post. Humor was great with 'rainforest' as the shipping company and the little second jab at the end. Really neat!
A great game, but the audio portion was a bit lacking. Probably the best graphics I have seen this jam.
Very nice art direction here, only problem regarding graphics is that maybe the numbers on the packs are too small and hard to read, for the rest, the controls are a bit tricky to grasp at start but when you get accustomed to it plays smoothly, very nice entry here, complimenti :)
Neat game. Graphically it is really well done. I'm not very good with the style of controls (not your fault, I know that is a popular WASD schema). No complaints otherwise, nicely done!
Wow! this is awesome! Put some more work on it, add a few features like, career, making money or something... and you got yourself a commercial product worth money's :dvd: Great job!
great graphics! I think your player movement choice is a bit weird but eventually got hang of it. good job!
The game looks beautiful but that comes at a cost, runs at about 5-6 fps on my MacBook Pro and I just get a black screen on the HTML5 version.
I will give it another go when I get my GTX1060 laptop from the office.
Thank you everyone :) We really appreciate your feedback! We will see what we can do about the controls.
This game is super simple, yet takes so much multitasking. Well done on a game that really emphasizes how much delivery companies work.
This is really fantastic! Presentation wise, it's nearly flawless, the visuals and audio really work with the game. My biggest grip is the controls. I get you were going for pushing a cart around, but it feels kind of clunky in the environment. Also, clicking packages to pick them up is kinda odd, might have been better if you just pressed space or something while near them. Still, though, that didn't detract from my enjoyment of it overall. Great job!
Really nice graphics love thoses (even if some animation suprised me like back walk). The only point i feel mess with is that you have to click on object to get them guess it could be more easier if all control were on keyboard. But still a very fun game. Good job !
Absolutely beautiful graphics and nice idea gameplay idea. I agree with the others, that said controls could be improved, but it is not that big of a deal in my opinion. Game is fun, good looking, has humorous elements and fits the theme perfectly. Bookmarked to play it again & show others! PS: Please make this into an actual game :D
What a great game! i had alot of fun. It's the best LD42 game i played so far. Nice entry!
Woah, amazing graphics! That's really something! Controlling cart was quite hard, but with time i got used to how swingy it is. The idea itself is great! It reminded me of this old russian handheld game with catching eggs :D But in nicer, modern version :D https://i.ytimg.com/vi/m3kgHsHRPEI/maxresdefault.jpg
As others have mentioned, the game looks great. Graphics are clean and, importantly, cohesive: everything, from the models to the UI, looks like it belongs to this game; nothing looks borrowed or out of place.
Also plays well; originally thought that an interact button would be better than mouse click to manipulate objects but mouse click allows you to pick specific packages when they're in a pile which a button might not. Speaking of piles of boxes: some of them, mostly the size 1 boxes, would roll back down the conveyor belt when reaching some of the steep inclines and stay there until another box pushed it up. Not sure if intended or not; but if not, definitely falls under the 'it's a feature, not a bug' category! Adds to the general chaos as the difficulty *ramps up*.
Audio sounds compressed, but otherwise sufficient.
All in all, fantastic achievement. Well done.
Awesome art style. Love the take on the theme as well. Quite a bit to manage but quite entertaining. The controls are a little sluggish and I feel like I'm driving a tank though. I could see this working really well with a controller using the analogue sticks though. Maybe even some kind of co-op play. I think this could be really polished into a marketable game!
Very fun and very pretty! Hire someone to do some music and sfx and you've got yourself a hit!
I was grabbed immediately by the art style. The art work is amazing. I hated the controls, though, and in fact, for LD41, I insisted that we implement two control schemes because my other team members wanted the one you used. It did take a bit to figure out that I could pick up boxes anywhere and the difficulty quickly ramped up from there. I did miss having music in the background, too, but the sound effects were nice.
Wow i just love the great balance put into the art, very satisfying to look at! The speech bubbles are a smart addon to help the player. Regardless of the silent hill 1-esque controls its fun and easy to get into, i think the controls kind of add to the stress a bit. the little mumbles are fun too. it has potential with added features like coop and stages, extra dangers that could occur or things that awards the player for their work.
Pretty game. Well polished and theme fitting. Can't really think of anything I'd improve...maybe it's perfect :O
I love the game, the idea and the execution. Graphics are great, like everyone said. And I loved the comments of the worker.
There however was one detail that made it very frustrating for me and drew away most of the enjoyment. That is that I have to be precise with my clicking when loading boxes - especially when the screen moves. Maybe it would not be such problem if the screen was still. It felt like the main part of how much score I get was how accurate my clicking was when loading the boxes. This game, in my opinion, should reward time management and quick planning, rather than first-person shooter skills.
I would give each box much bigger range where it can be clicked and make them glow when the mouse is near enough. It would be nice to have them glow green when you can pick them up, yellow when you can't reach them and red when they cannot fit your cart.
If you made those changes, I would love to return to the game and hunt the high-scores.
---
It took me quite a while to understand that the numbers on the boxes were their size. I thought I had to read the number on each box and based on that deliver it to the correct shelf. If instead of a number you had a picture of the correct box above the shelves, it would be much clearer.
---
I would prefer mouse controls for movement rather than wasd, but that may be personal taste.
---
Also, the high scores didn't work for me.
Also, my game is a pick-up-and-deliver too, maybe you would want to check it out?
Loved it! Jeff Bezos is jealous!
* I would have like a fixed camera better then the follow camera, at the zoom level, you can see everything really well. * graphics were great * controls felt good * game starts out a bit slow * not sure if it is intended... but it looks like the game generates some imposible situations were boxes are falling off at 2 locations almost at the same time (I didn't see a way to grab a box off the belt before it fell.. if so that was on me)
Graphics? Amazing. They remind me of Portal 2's promo videos which I think is awesome. The controls are a bit of a mess since walking around and turning is almost impossible.
thank you everybody for the great feedback! I have added the possibility of switching between two control modes - player and camera relative - in the hope that it will be more playable :smile:
I had so much fun playing this game! The controls and mechanics felt very solid and cohesive. Not a fan of clicking the boxes though, so small!
All in this game is amazing! The only exception is monotonus music, but it's not a problem. High rate for you.
the graphics is excellent and very nice. Control is very complicated, but you get used to it. And ... I could not catch a single box, they fall on the cart, but still break up > _ < how to do it? I stupid ;c?
Amazing game!)
@cdox those would be great additions! thank you for the feedback, will try to do it :smile:
@sciman101 thank you for the great feedback!
@kiotikid thank you for the feedback, will try to add coop at a later time!
This looks absolutely amazing! It feels like mature well polished game. Great job!
I love the art style^^. gameplay is quite interesting! :)
Very Great Job! I started playing and at first I was very taken but the moment the warehouse became bursting with packages I was on the job hustling and working for free and I couldn't stop! Great Job!
Hey ! The graphics are so clean, loved it ! Even the blur effect when you lose is so cool ! But i think the main issues of your game is that the controls are not aligned with the camera (pressing up goes to the upper/left diagonal) and it is very frustating. Also some music and more sounds when placing box on shelves could have been super cool :) Keep it up !
Woah, this games stelas it in terms of visual design. Everything is so pretty and smooth! I actually liked the controls, they added to the overall feeling of struggle. To be honest, though, it's a kinda frightening look into the inner workings of storage and delivery companies :D
Very good job! Congrats! When I started playing I though "nothing happens?", but well... now i have shipped 120 boxes (in lazy mode :P ) and played 5 times. I like it so much. A negative thing is that it's a bit hard to see the numbers in small resolutions. Great game!
Awesome job, looks and feels great, super fun too!:)
I found it hard to read the numbers ... but eventually I realised that the numbers referred to the size of the boxes and I was organising them by size. That made it a lot more fun and interesting. The graphics were really nice. Someone above mentioned Portal - I got an Aperture Science vibe from it too, which is probably appropriate! I found it quite hard after a few minutes, even on the "laziest" setting, but I guess that's how life is at "Rainforest"!
A really good job here! Well done
An interesting game, and graphically successful, but a little unserved by the arduous control of the character.
The controller is 45 degrees off and sensitivity is a bit off as well making it difficult to play on PC for me. Would love you guys implemented "pre warm" phase, so I don't have to wait a minute on lazy mode until first package arrives. Really nice looks and animations, overall good effort.
Love the art omg. Looks very nice and polished! nice job!
Beautiful artwork! Very eye-catching. The audio needs a complete overhaul, however. Music does not loop smoothly, nor fit properly and FX are unbalanced. Removing the music would be better than how it currently is. The controls could be improved. Nice logo! :)
Well executed, fun little game.
Great art; speech bubbles were very helpful in learning how to play the game. I noticed that if you have 5 Size 1 boxes on the cart, the bubble saying "cart is full" can appear when you try to add a Size 2 box. Maybe instead of "cart is full", the bubble should say something like "no space for this item", because it seems you can still add a Size 1 box to the cart, so I suppose your current message isn't entirely accurate and could mislead the player.
That said, your game was interesting and, like many others have said, the "rainforest" company was a cute idea that was executed very well graphically!
NIce game, but the controls were hard, anyways nice game, but after 5 min of playing it gets boring the same thing...
Amazingly well-polished game fitting perfectly with the theme. I want to pick up all the boxes, but I keep running out of space! The only annoyance is that the view of the floor is a bit too constrained. I would have loved the possibility to zoom out to get a better overview. Also the packages could have been a bit more visually distinct.
Very well done!
Very cool !
What a lovely experience. My only issue was that the numbers on the boxes are a bit too small to see easily but once I figured out the sizes, I was delivering them like nobody's business. I love the conveyor belts and the way the boxes move along them. Very cool.
Very fun! It was just a little hard to see the numbers on the boxes. Nice game.
Beautiful graphics, and a fun game. I also didn't realise how to know which boxes went where at first - maybe colour coding would be more obvious than the number labels and the box size. But that's just a quibble. Great work! :thumbsup:
Wonderful game!
Awesome graphics and a really fun game. I've played the Android version and it runs very well. Congratulations
Nice game man! Realy liked it! :D
Really liked the game, solid entry. The lazy mode is a bit slow ^^ graphics are cool and animations too :) Very beautiful !! Congrats :)
Maybe you can checkout our game too ? :)
Thank you, everyone for your feedback :)
Wow, it doesn't look like a jam game at all. It's so smooth and good looking. Fun to play as well :) good job.
Very well polished, this was a fun game to play.
I really enjoyed this game! Great simple gameplay! Very easy to jump into!
Visuals are on point! It was fun
Enjoyed the artwork and found it funny. The controls were a little difficult and the clipping through shelves for collisions did not look the best. I thought the objects would drop on my trolley but I guess I needed to click on the objects.
Hi just played this on our live stream https://www.twitch.tv/firesplashtv
I appreciate how the game is made to look like its mimicking amazon. The graphics are really crisp and well implemented as well as the controls. I Encourage you to include more instructions in the game next time because it took me a while to figure out where and how to pick up the boxes. I also had a lot of trouble seeing the numbers on the boxes while playing. However, the entire game feels and looks great. Overall Great Job!

Very impressive game for a jam. Graphics, sound effect, overall gameplay, everything is well polished. Wow! I loved the details when a shelf is full and have to push the button for a new one too, that's the kind of stuff that make game really stand out.
Amazing graphics, great concept, nicely polished game. Great entry :-)
Really cool game although I think there should be some easier way to read what number is on the package.
One of the bests ! Good graphics, the mood with music and sound fx make the things realistic, simple gameplay so good gameplay. Good job !
Wow. Very polished and professional! You've got a proper game here. You just need multiplayer like Overcooked and you could have a little hit on your hands. Top work!
really nice! love the art and the game is really smooth to play. for the player control having them in local space from the player and not the world would have been easier to navigate the warehouse. other than that it's a really nice game with lovely art.
The most professional game I've seen yet.
Rainforest should do something about their terrible working conditions.
At first I wasn't sure what box went where, until I noticed their sizes.
Nice game. Frustrating at the end. My poor guy wasn't fast enough.
I'm loving to hear all these feedback. Thank you guys!
A very beautiful and polished game for this jam. It is really one of the best looking and yet simple one around. I love the game and the stress it gives. It is quite actually stressful yes :) but you can feel that it does it wonderfully. Well done :)
A well-made game. I took me a while to get the hang of it.
Fun as hell, nice work people
I am a terrible employee! Haha I had a lot of fun playing your game. I love the look and implementation of the high score system. Great Job!
Haha ! Love it ! Got 24...
Really good animations and amazing graphics !
Good Job !
Very well done with graphics! The game looks neat and polished
I wish I could see all the boxes at any given time, to prioritize movements. By the way, have you though of putting numbers (1, 2, 4) on top of the boxes? It looks like this could improve visibility of the boxes and clearly show their target shelf
Really nice game but hard to play on android lol
Fun game!
The game is gorgeous, the take on the theme is really fun, and I love that you have an online leaderboard, it's like gamifying the gamification. :D I found it borderline implayable though, the controls are really rough, and the music quickly drove me mad. Maybe that's the point? ^^
:star::star::star::star::star: Well done. I really liked the atmosphere and the theme. Although I found it a bit hard to click the boxes, it was all otherwise great! :clap:
Thank you for sharing your game with me. I played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames
I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream.
You can hear my comments in the archive at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/298329090
Awesome graphics but sadly when I tried to play the web version it was really laggy. Windows was ok so I was able to enjoy it.
Great job!
Ha ha ha, "Rainforest". Awesome graphics, I liked the mii-style character and the overall comical style. It was pretty simple what to do (though it could maybe have been made a little more clear which racks are which), and the controls were easy to use. Loved the random quotes and the gibberish the guy was speaking. The leaderboard was also a nice addition - it was interesting to see how well you performed compared to others. Poor Joe though, he definitely got fired after those parcels fell off :S Had a good laugh about the difficulties aswell ;) Great entry overall.
Super fun and pretty messy at the end ! You did a really great game !
Wow your game looks great plays well and is really well put together. Well done. Id be surprised to see if anyone gets your gold award for 500 boxes delivered. Well done guys :smile:
Addicting game and sleek graphics! However, I wonder how much assets/code you had before the challenge?
@realmar I will take that as a compliment :) thank you! actually everything was made in 72h
wow wonderful graphics. nice take of theme and everything is well made. perfect entry .sometimes movements made me frustating but maybe its my bad keep it up!!
@p1nkmaria Definitely was a compliment! :) I expected that you would have some base from which you started because it looks really polished. So I'm impressed.
I was just above 200 points when things started getting really crazy. There were so many 4s I had no chance :smile:. 2 Boxes even glitched off the conveyor belt. The game looks really good and is quite fun. Keep up the good work. image.JPG
Very fun and challenging game with great graphics!
@jorbits congrats on earning the first medal!! here it is, well done :) I've added you to our leaderboard :smile: medals_bronze.png
Wow, great gfx, nice idea with the literally physical running out of space. I found it quite difficult though, how could anybody get >200 boxes, crazy ;p
great game :laughing:
The art got me right away and the gameplay even more so! The 3D artstyle is very cute and simplistic and the colours are very nice! The game controls very well as well and the collision detection is spot on. Overall very good entry to the game and solid take on the theme!
Cool game! Graphics are really good and gameplay is fun!
What about the source code?
@dodoita this is a jam entry, not a compo :) but I might publish it in the future!
@simogecko whoops, my bad. :sweat_smile:
Interesting concept and well executed, the gameplay works fine and it gives credits to the level design. Also, the scoreboard is a clever addition. The major con for me were the controls, I found them too hard to deal with, especially with harder difficulties. Neat entry.
Such amazing graphics oh man
Fun game. Nice and simple art style. Very polished. I love the name and the logo :). However, I felt like the numbers on the boxes were too small to read.
Great job!
Hey there! This game was played on www.twitch.tv/arjendesign just now! Great entry!
I love the art! I can't believe it's a jam game, it looks like a full on project. Controls were a little hard to use, but still a fun game!
Wow. Art is beautiful and mechanics are good. The game is fun and addictive. All is polished. Here is a winner!
Amazing level of polish! The overall composition of the game is great!
I think my only gripe would be that there isn't some sort of progression. Like say, more levels to unlock or a slight upgrade mechanic like getting a boost or larger cart with some sort of credits.
But hey, if my only complaint is that I want more of your game, I'd say that's pretty good! :smile: Great job!
Great game, although it gets stressful really fast. But really fun to play, well done!
graphics and animation are just perfect! high completeness! Getting the color tone and gradient and ao looks nice is always what I want to do but fail to do so. Respect.
5-stars! When I picked up boxes and dropped them off I felt challenged! If you continue to develop this, when I started I moved near boxes on conveyor belts and nothing happened. After exploring my keyboard, I picked up boxes and then brought them to shelves, and nothing happened. After exploring shelves I recalled something about the box size mapping to the shelf number.
This definitely deserves one of the first 3 places overall. Graphics is awesome, as well as the gameplay! Keep up the great work! :smile:
The art of the game is really great. The gameplay is simple but efficient even if little bit to repetitive. The audio seems a bit weird but maybe it come from the web version.
That was stressful!
The art and the idea are both great. The programming was perfectly executed except for a some minor collider issues.
Really fun to play.
First off, amazing graphics and audio! The controls could be a bit more improved, as others have said, but otherwise, absolutely fantastic!
I actually had an idea about a game about doing this while brainstorming! Love your execution of the idea. Graphics are really well done! Thanks for sharing the game with my stream. Your game starts at around 3:40 into the vod https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297479036
Really cool entry! This game could be really fun in coop. Nice work ^^
Really nice graphics! It's fun and easy to understand. I just don't really like the controlers, it's doesn't seems as polished as the rest of the game.
Nice! The lighting and textures feel really great here. The mouse click controls were quite clunky; pressing space worked much better. I'm not sure what the reasoning was behind having to actually click on the package instead of just grabbing the closest one, but seems like the mouse click would work better if it simply worked like the space key. Otherwise, some visual feedback (highlight the box under the cursor) would help.
Feels like the boxes could have used more unique designs to read better, for example boxes of different colors, that corresponded with the color of the shelf that you need to take them to. As it is, you can definitely figure it out, but it doesn't really stick out to you. (I get the whole cardboard box aesthetic though)
Great game, took me a while to get the hang of it at first but by the time I did it made for some really intense gameplay. Very well polished for an LD entry and the fact that you ported it to so many platforms is a surprise for sure, but a welcome one :)
I played the mobile version. Its really fun and polished. the chaos of having each drop off point in different parts of the plant made this more challenging then i was expecting, but that is part of the fun of it.
2nd place on the leaderboard, 1st try ;D 2nd place.png
I can't find a single negative aspect about this game. It's fun, it's hard, it's beautiful ! You have to anticipate, react quickly, plan in advance.
It's just great !
Well, if I search hard enough, I could tell that the fact you have to press two keys to get your character moving along a line isn't the most easy thing to get used to. Maybe letting the player choose whether they want to have their character moving according to the room axes or according to the screen would have been nice, but neither of this methods are that hard to learn.
Thank you everyone for your great feedback! And @lekkel124 wowww, I’m very impressed :)
Very well done. The art style is attractive and the game play is simple and addictive.
Good looking game. Controls are a bit tricky. It would be nice if you could zoom the camera out so you can see the whole area. Good use of the theme, at multiple layers with the cart running out of room & the shelves also running out of space. I like that you included different difficulty levels and a high score list. Very professional.
This is very well made, and I gets really hectic, lots of fun! Love the art style and the game feels very polished for a jam game. Had a blast!
Excellent little scoring game! I really loved the low poly graphic style and the immersion in this parodic warehouse! I think some visual effects could help to better understand where each package should go! Great job! :)
By the way please feel free to leave us some feedbacks on our game!
Simple and efficeient ! Great graphics, great mood, the audio is good, a real innovation, and fun ! It's a really great job !
You nailed the looks of the game perfectly because everyone has a reference in their heads. The only thing I had troubles with was to know where the packages should go because I couldn't see the numbers.
I loved 3d models !! nice job !!
It was fun and pretty hard but I also couldn't really read the letters. The graphics were very nice and the logo of rainforest inc was funny. I very much enjoyed myself although I think I would get bored of this game pretty quickly.
I liked the graphics and the humour.
This is a very good-looking game. The audio equalization is a little odd, but I like the actual sounds. Even though I read the above comment about the numbers referring to the size of the boxes, I still wish the numbers on the packages were bigger. Otherwise, this is polished and shiny.
Got stuck behind a wall on my second play through because I accidentaly stepped behind the shelf after pressing the button. I will leave better feedback after playing a bit more.
dfjfhfkjg.png
The graphics are awesome! The gameplay is pretty interesting and polished but gets repetitive after a while, maybe add some power ups or upgrades to change it up a bit? The sounds sounded a bit weird but the music was fine
This is very nice and polished game. And most importantly, I enjoyed playing it. Improve audio and it will be perfect! ;)
Really lovely visuals very polished! The only issue I have really is how small those numbers are on the packages. Feel like something more legible would have helped. A great jam :)
such a crazy game! the visuals are top notch! the controls needs getting used to and i had a little difficulty finding the numbers in the beginning. pretty challenging game! i'm now looking for a friend to play coop!
Amazing project which unfortunately reminds me my work - I am postman :) The main aesthetic is gorgeous and the background music is quiet - just what it is necessary for playing, but not too loud to oppress us. The gameplay is fun - unusual. maybe you could work a little bit more on the controls - I guess that your game could be better if you can smooth them. Overall, you did a great entry. Bravo ++
to be honest, I have to say that it's one the best game I've seen so far. It's already a winner for me. Even so the game has been made in 72 hours, it's already better than the most of mobile games (especially free games). I wish the best luck for you guys, keep making awesome stuff.
Boy! rainforest, Inc. is such a fun place to work! An all-round excellent game, really polished and a nice bit of satire.
Could be a winner, this one. Everything about this game is great. Kudos for controller support, feels great to play it. What could be improved: sound/sfx (kind of blunt compared to the rest), it was difficult to tell box sizes (too small; maybe color code it?)
Great graphics; everything is stylish yet simple and there's really no confusion aside from the small numbers on the boxes - mitigated by visually scanning for the size instead, though it may still be good to address that. Nothing is represented which doesn't need to be, everything has purpose, and that which is shown is done well.
Really excellent polish overall. I'm super impressed by this for a 72-hour time limit. Your team worked very well together!
It took a bit to get used to the controls, possibly because it was a little tough to tell what my reach was.
Finishing a shelf and sending it off was surprisingly satisfying.
You guys should consider continuing development on this, it's potentially a really solid prototype for a larger-scope project along the lines of Overcooked.
Loved the game! Great concept, however I did get stuck behind the wall when the shelf retracted back... except that, nice work!
Overall very good entry! Although it is very obvious where you put the theme into your game, I would love to see the theme as a main objective. The delivery is still bit higher. But hey! That is just me and it doesn't mean that I didn't love your piece and din't try to reach the high scores :) It is very catchy and you did really Great job!!
Nice work, Graphics is awesome. Challenging game.
Awesome work: loved the graphics (very polished, professional-looking) and the gameplay is pretty frantic (even on lazy).
I got the 350 award btw
@babypandajr wow that's impressive, well done! Added to the page, and here is your silver medal :smile: thanks for playing! medals_silver.png
A nice little game. The art is brilliant, great work!
Nice work!
I got 112 boxes solo, it's tough! I played WebGL, but only gripe is the controls could use abit of tighening, other than that, great game!
Coool! Nice game :thumbsup: +++++
excellent game! I had to play it 3-4 times til I got 3rd place! great level design and graphics, audio/music could use work--lots of potential!
T
